Avraham Sender Schneerson (Son of the Maharash)

Born to the Rebbe Maharash and Rebbetzin Rivka. The Rebbe Rayatz related in the name of his father, the Rebbe Rashab, that Reb Avraham possessed extraordinary faculties and exceptional intellectual and emotional capabilities.

The Tzemach Tzedek said that his soul was that of the Alter Rebbe.

Early Learning

At age four, his grandfather the Tzemach Tzedek learned Mishnayos with him. Despite not yet having studied Gemara, he could explain to his grandfather all the points the Gemara derives from the Mishna.

Passing

Before his passing, Reb Avraham said: "The Alter Rebbe told me to come to him" and requested to be dressed in Shabbos clothes. He davened Mincha with joy, and after davening said "Shema Yisroel." His soul departed while saying "Hashem Echad" at just eight years old.

Resting Place

He is interred in the Ohel of his father the Maharash and grandfather the Tzemach Tzedek.
